Chapter 1022: Chapter 1022: Sobering Up
When Gu Zhiqi woke up, it was already eleven o’clock at night.
Lying in an unfamiliar room and looking at the room’s arrangement, Gu Zhiqi was momentarily struck with amnesia.
It wasn’t until her memory slowly returned that a trace of confusion appeared in Gu Zhiqi’s eyes.
Wasn’t she having dinner at the Shadow Pavilion?
How did she fall asleep?
Also, where is this place?
Filled with doubts, Gu Zhiqi slowly sat up from the bed and studied her surroundings.
Very unfamiliar, Gu Zhiqi was certain she hadn’t been here before. She lifted the blanket and moved to the edge of the bed.
Just as she was about to put on her shoes, she caught sight of a note on the bedside table.
Gu Zhiqi picked up the note and glanced at it, immediately noticing the elegant handwriting.
It’s often said that seeing someone’s writing is like seeing the person, but Gu Zhiqi never believed that before.
However, looking at the handwriting on the note, the first person that came to Gu Zhiqi’s mind was Su Yunling.
"Remember to check your WeChat messages after waking up. Brother had to return to Yan City first, see you next time. — Su Yunling"
Gu Zhiqi paused slightly when she saw the words "return to Yan City."
Was it that urgent?
They had just met once.
For some reason, an unusual emotion rose in her heart.
Previously, Gu Zhiqi had experienced this feeling.
Each time she had to part with her master and others, it was this feeling.
She knew this was reluctance.
Realizing that she was feeling this way, Gu Zhiqi’s heart felt a bit strange.
So, does this mean she has accepted Su Yunling in her heart and already considers him a brother?
While pondering this, Gu Zhiqi put away the note, then took out her phone for a look.
The first thing she opened was the message dialog with Su Yunling.
[Su Yunling: After waking up, let Yun Miao take you home]
[Su Yunling: Don’t drink alcohol in the future, and don’t eat anything with alcohol in it, like glutinous rice balls with wine]
Seeing this, Gu Zhiqi paused slightly.
So... she got drunk?
Because she ate glutinous rice balls with wine?
If that’s the case, she really shouldn’t eat them in the future.
After all, she already knows that drinking causes her to have memory blackouts.
She doesn’t like the feeling of blacking out.
Su Yunling had sent more than just these two messages; there were more afterwards.
[Su Yunling: The school issues have been resolved, you can go back to class tomorrow]
[Su Yunling: From today on, Luo Wu is no longer the vice-principal of Sea City No.1 Middle School]
[Su Yunling: If you don’t like the middle school, you can transfer to another school]
[Su Yunling: If you need anything, you can find brother, anytime]
Upon reading this, Gu Zhiqi’s fingers tightened slightly around the phone.
He knows about her expulsion from school?
With a swift motion, she typed out a line in the dialog box and sent it.
After exiting the chat with Su Yunling, she checked messages from others, clicking open and replying one by one.
Lastly, it was Gu Xiyue’s message.
[Gu Xiyue: Not at home?]
[Gu Xiyue: Not coming back tonight?]
[Qiqi: Staying out tonight, let’s meet directly at the airport tomorrow]
[Qiqi: What time is the flight tomorrow?]
Gu Zhiqi didn’t forget about going to the Medical Alliance with Gu Xiyue tomorrow.
However, since it was already quite late, Gu Zhiqi didn’t want to return to the manor and figured it would be easier to leave from the hotel tomorrow.
Gu Xiyue replied almost instantly.
[Gu Xiyue: Ten o’clock]
[Qiqi: Alright, see you at the airport tomorrow]
[Gu Xiyue: See you at the airport]
After finishing the conversation with Gu Xiyue, Gu Zhiqi took out a notebook from the storage bracelet, intending to work on the mental method.
Just as she powered on the device, her phone rang.
Glancing sideways at the familiar contact, Gu Zhiqi didn’t hesitate to grab the phone and answer it.
"Brother?" The one calling Gu Zhiqi was indeed Su Yunling.
